IF DRILL STALLS, it usually because it is being overloaded RELEASE
TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, removes drill from work, and determine cause of
stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START
A STALLED DRILL - THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill
and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will
help prevent jamming.
With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch the point to be
drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit
skipping out. Operate at full on after starting the bit.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills use for metal. These bits
may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For
large hole, use low speed wood bits. Work that is likely to splinter should be
backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN METALS
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and
brass, which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are
sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon grease also serves the purpose.
DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even force on the drill but
not so much that you crack brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
OPERATION AS A SCREWDRIVER
Turn the river/Drill selector to the symbol of a screw. Select the desired
speed/torque range using the dual range gear shifter on the top of tool to match
the speed and torque to the planned operation. Insert the desired fastener
accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit. Make a few practice runs in
scrap or unseen areas to determine the proper position of the clutch collar.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
: With the motor running, blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
dry air at least once a week. Wear safety glasses when performing this.
Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Although these parts are highly are solvent resistant, NEVER use solvent.
